Paying Taxes 2013: The Global Picture

Paying Taxes 2013: The global picture is a unique study from PwC, World Bank and IFC which investigates and compares tax regimes across 185 economies worldwide, ranking them according to the relative ease of paying taxes. The study looks not only at corporate income tax, but at all of the taxes and contributions that a domestic medium-size case study company must pay. It considers the full impact of all these taxes in terms of both their tax cost and their compliance burden on business.
The study addresses the following questions:

• Do you know how your local tax system compares with other economies?
• How have tax systems changed over the last eight years?
• What tax reforms are governments implementing around the world?
• Companies pay many taxes, not just corporate income tax – what are they and what impact do they have? Click on the above link to download a copy.
